I need to know the limb structure specification for rigging a new character. I have already my meshes, but after checking on the fpe files content, there is this section:

;bodypartslimbinfo (1=head/2=body/3+4=armslr/5+6=legslr)
limbmax = 0

Which gets me confused of how the bone structure (limbs) should be done for fps engine to recognize it correctly.
Actually what would be desirable is a post from TGC staff or anyone who knows it, with the complete explanation for the fpe file parameters, in order to eliminate guesswork. There is nothing on the manual, with the exception of the script reference for standard animation ranges, which I suppose correspond to the lines:

;animationinfo
animmax = 100 (what is this ?)
anim0 = 190,209 (I assume SPAWN)
anim1 = 210,234 (I assume IDLE)
anim2 = 235,259.... and so on...

I forgot to mention that I need to know if there is the need of a special "tag" like the ones used on quake models, for the character to hold its weapon. If this is needed, it should be where? what are its characteristics?

the weapon tag is a single tri within, and linked to the hand bone.
A vweap models pivot point will align exactly with it.
Name it "firespot", and give it a material name "firespot"

Thats the only tag used.

Can't help with the FPE's I'm afraid, thats Lee Bambers domain.

Am afraid I ignore how to name individual triangles (if that is what you mean) neither with gamespace nor with milkshape, but am going to ask. As per the material, no problem.
Can you suggest Lee to drop some hint over here?
